Trans women are not all fetishists. Trans women who succeed in transforming their social reality by being perceived as the female sex can face misogyny.
My issue is not with their existence, but with the sexist ideological framework used by mainstream activists. https://twitter.com/wingfem/status/1380186082973786114

Do I think transidentity would exist in a genderless society ?
No, I don't think it would make sense and I am aware of the link between gender stereotypes (sexism) and the very concept of transgender.
But even in a genderless society, dysphoria would still exist on some level.

Why is their framework sexist?
-They conflate gender with masculinity/femininity, reinforcing stereotypes, creating the idea that women are oppressed because of their femininity.
-Or they see gender as innate, so women can not be defined as an oppressed class but as a feeling.

-Or they use the "female/male brain the wrong body" theory, making them the biggest bioessentialists out there.
(How can a brain can be biologically made to identify as a specific gender if gender is socially constructed ?)

Trans activists conflate the discomfort they feel with transphobia when they read observable facts about the social/physical reality that women need to highlight in order to fight for our liberation:
-They deny the fact that sexism is rooted in sex-based discrimination.
-They deny the fact that sexism is rooted in sex-based discrimination.
-They deny the male/female socialization differences.
-They deny that cis women face more forms of misogyny due to being raised as a girl and sex-based discrimination.
So they don't question their sexism towards trans men/cis women, and deny their unique experience of misogyny.

So they don't question their sexism towards trans men/cis women, and deny their unique experience of misogyny.
-They have lesbophobic tendancies, they very commonly shame lesbians who are not attracted to male primary sex characteristics. Even if it means using homophobic rethoric used by straight cis men.
- Mainstream trans activists (not all trans people) don't tend to openly criticize trans women who equate womanhood with being a sex object, one of them even won litterary prize.
They can claim without consequences that a brazilian butt lift is a "gender reaffirming surgery".

-Many change the definition of phenomena that only females can experience, so that the definition is twisted enough to include males, no matter if it hurts women in the process and deprives women of the words they use to relate with each other in a way no male can understand.
- It is because these specific activists fetishize the female experience : claiming they have periods, claiming that experiencing an abortion is "a chance" that cis women have in comparison to trans women. (an unwanted pregnancy ?? The thing every woman is afraid of ?? )
And if we decribe our unique and traumatic experience of being born in a female body in a sexist society and say these specific activists treat it as a game or a "priviledge" because of all the issues mentioned above, we are pushed away and insulted.
-"I hate men/males" is redefined as being transphobic, so they can censor women who express a general anger towards the abuse women face at the hands of men by branding women as bigots.
- Resulting in a constatation : Misogyny and homophobia are allowed as long as you say it in the name of trans "rights"
-What are trans rights ? Rights to a stigma free society, safety, to equal employement, proper mental and physical care [...].

None of the things I criticized are "trans rights" they are misogynistic behaviors widely allowed in western progressive circles. And as long as the trans activists who do this will refuse to commonly address these issues. I will denounce these issues.
